The Big Reveal!

It's been quiet around here lately huh? Well it's for good reason.

I've had a lot going on lately because I started my new desk job until I can make enough green through personal training. So far I like it a lot and it's only part time so I have time before 8 am and after 2:30 pm to do as I please and it's database work so not the kind of stuff you bring home with you.

So what have I been doing with my time away from blogging? Besides running. Setting up my new online personal training business! What! What on earth is online personal training? Don't trainers have to squat next to you and scream at you and drink your tears? No, we actually don't. There are a few reasons I chose to go the online route right now and a few key benefits I like to point out to people. First, it saves me a lot of time and time is money. By not driving all over creation to train people at different locations or paying gym use rental fees and additional insurance premiums I save myself a lot of headaches. Especially since I hate to drive. Another benefit for me is that I get to work for myself which has always been a goal of mine growing up. It's not a power thing because I don't want employees but it's more of a flexibility thing. I get to decide when I do things and that makes fitting in long runs (and other workouts) a lot easier. I also don't have quite the strain on my body that I would have with more hands on training.

But enough about me, let's talk about YOU! What are the benefits to online personal training? The biggest is cost. Working online allows me to charge lower rates because (as mentioned earlier) I'm incurring a lot less cost myself. I'm saving money and I'm passing the savings on to youuuu! Does anyone else remember that Family Guy episode?



In all seriousness though, personal trainers can be really expensive and that's always been the biggest obstacle I've heard from people for why they don't have one. My goal is to try to change that and make it more affordable and more reasonable. You can workout anywhere you'd like. If you have access to a gym, great! The Trainerize app makes it really easy to pull up your scheduled workout and perform it in a gym or at home or even in hotel rooms. You tell me what you want and I do my best to make that happen.

I could talk about this all day but it's still a work in progress. Feel free to go to the site if you'd like (keep in mind it's still under construction...tips welcome!) and on the top right click the green button to Become a Client! Just make sure you DO NOT PAY yet. You can also just click the Contact Me button to send me a message if you have more specific questions.

I will hopefully be up and training on September 1st and have a special gift for anyone who signs up before then and even more special if you happen to be one of my dozen loyal readers! Hope everyone has a great weekend! Here's a video of week 6 of marathon training so far for your viewing pleasure.

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 10K Race Recap

Wow, what a title right? Although I also could have titled it the greatest race of my life. Wanna know why? Yeah I thought you might. The week leading up to the race wasn't a great one. Stress at work, general grumpiness etc. etc. etc. So I really wasn't expecting much as far as performance but I wanted to get a 10K in really badly before the marathon relay this Saturday so I thought What the hell and signed up. The atmosphere at Komen events is like none other. Pink everywhere and people....so...many...people. For someone who hates crowds (i.e. ME) there are few things that will lure me to a crowded place. Races just tend to be one of those things. Anyway, there was a great survivors parade and all kinds of booths and music and general funness. What there wasn't plenty of was parking. Which I guess is the norm for an event of this caliber. Survivors' Parade Great Ladies I never got the chance to meet... Seriously packed at the start! Autumn Alexis, The Colonel and I g...

Rennay, Julie & Julia

Today I watched Julie & Julia (thanks Redbox !) and it was really good. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Anyhow, it really made me think about my life and blogging and cooking and all. So at this moment, I vow to be a better blogger...although as of right now I'm the only one affected by this decision.  Not that I think I'm terribly interesting, a very good writer or someone with things worth saying, however, I do think I have things that I want to say and if someone finds those things interesting...well that's just great. I recall asking my mom and other people pretty regularly, "What's wrong with me?" and/or "Why am I such a weirdo?" Lately it has been occurring to me that maybe I'm not a weirdo and that I'm just different. I'm a vegetarian, I love to read, I'm a foster parent to unwanted animals and I volunteer with middle schoolers for at least 4 months out of the year coaching speech and drama. I've graduated colleg...

The End of an Era

Almost exactly one year ago I decided that I was tired of being fat and sad. I was tired of crying in dressing rooms...and in my bedroom...and in the shower...and in the living room...and in my car...and...well, you get the picture. I decided that I was going to start exercising again. Before I continue what will be a very long (you've been warned) post, let me just mention that I make a lot of assumptions of my readers. I assume that people who read this actually know me in real life and therefore know a few things about me. I assume you all know the following, and if you don't already know, now you will: I was naturally skinny my entire life until the age of 22. I'd been relatively active throughout my life even though I lived for a year off of doritos and easy mac. I've run a half and full marathon. I went from being around 145lbs to probably 220lbs in the span of roughly 15 months. I've battled severe depression for a large portion of my life. I'm...
